KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Former Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Nga Kor Ming should be allowed to be part of the government’s special committee studying how to hold a hybrid Parliament, as a representative for opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan , DAP’s Lim Guan Eng said today.
Looking at the composition of the government’s special committee on hybrid Parliament as reported, Lim noted that it does not include the Opposition Leader or his representative and that it also does not include the Parliament Standing Order Committee that would be able to determine any changes to the standing orders.
“The exclusion of Opposition representation from the Hybrid Parliament Special Committee on the shape, procedures and format of the hybrid Parliament is a dangerous precedent that violates not only Parliamentary convention but is also an abuse of power that erodes the fundamental basis of Parliament as a fountain of democracy,” Lim said in a statement.
